If the Democrats Really Cared About Their Base, They’d Tell Them to Stop

The recent wave of domestic terrorism targeting Tesla isn’t just criminal—it’s tragic. And what makes it worse is the silence from those who should be leading with moral clarity: the Democratic Party.
If the Democratic Party truly cared about its base—if it cared about the future of its voters, its movement, and the soul of this country—it would be loudly, publicly, and unequivocally telling its people to stop. Because the consequences that are coming for those involved in these acts will be severe. We're not talking about a slap on the wrist. We’re talking about 5, 10, even 20 years in federal prison depending on the charges.
President Donald J. Trump is currently serving his second term in office. This is the current political reality, and it’s one that all Americans—regardless of personal views—must engage with constructively.
That’s why it’s so important to understand the risks involved when emotions boil over into illegal actions. Those engaging in violent acts—not peaceful protest, but actual destruction or terrorism—aren’t just expressing dissent. They’re stepping into territory that carries serious legal consequences, and in many cases, those consequences range from five to twenty years in federal prison.
Presidents serve four-year terms, but felony convictions can last far longer. Some of these individuals may still be serving time well after this administration is over—no matter who is in power next.
No cause, no matter how passionately held, is worth throwing your future away when there are peaceful, lawful avenues to make your voice heard. Protest doesn’t have to be destructive to be powerful. History has shown us that civil disobedience rooted in discipline and nonviolence can shake the foundations of empires. Gandhi did it. Martin Luther King Jr. did it. They stood their ground—but they disavowed violence.
That’s the example we should be encouraging. Because the alternative isn’t just unjust—it’s deeply tragic.
To stay silent now is to be complicit. To treat this as acceptable “resistance” is to poison the political system and tell the next generation that violence is a legitimate tool for political change. That’s not the America any of us want to live in—left, right, or center.
If you believe your country needs change, fight for it. But fight smart. Fight peacefully. Use your voice, not your fists. Build movements, not bombs. Create coalitions, not chaos.
Because the moment we normalize domestic terrorism—no matter the cause—we lose something far greater than any election. We lose our ability to live together, disagree together, and still call ourselves a united country.
